Lights Question!

[KryptKeepa]

Anyone know the Max amount of light a cannabis plant can use!
I am currently using around 60w per sq ft.
But... Im wondering what the most I could use to be of benefit?

Thanks Ahead of Time,

I've never heard of too much light, I've only heard the more the better.
I don't think you could equal what the sun puts out.

Good Luck.

i do recall one number mentioned from some old time growers, think it was Growing With Kyle
10,000 lumens per square foot is pretty much the maximum you could need
not all strains need the same light intensity, the tropical sativas are the ones that want more and more
nothing wrong with 60w, but that depends on the source, a 600w hps is a lot more efficient than 25w cfl's

I got an 1000w HPS per 4x4 Area.

I got an 1000w HPS per 4x4 Area.

that's the recommended setup, lot of growers use it
usually, it's the heat that limits you, more watts, more heat
